I read this book in the late 70s or very early 80s, and I remember it vividly. I was a young adult, and it was intense and scary. The only disappointment was the blech (yet predictable) beast interaction near the end. I am a reader who, sadly, forgets much of the details in the books I read, but 40 years later, I remember this one for the scare/creep factors.

It is your standard evil, hidden beast in the attic fare. Others have reviewed that it didn't age well which could very well be true, but since I read it in its time, I don't have that taint.… (mais)

This was exactly what I expected it to be, slightly dated, catholic-themed horror.

Pocas veces el helado aliento del terror y el temblor de la angustia han llegado a sus últimos extremos como en las estremecedoras páginas de esta novela. Si ya en su novela anterior, El Centinela, que conmovió a millones de lectores, Konvitz hacía alarde de su increíble capacidad para adentrarse en los secretos laberintos del terror y de lo sobrenatural, en esta supera sus propios límites y llega a unas fronteras en las que la distancia entre la muerte y la vida, lo soñado y lo real, el bien y el mal, se confunden y se mezclan, haciéndonos asistir, como a través de un espejo, al nacimiento de 'otra realidad'
Una monja ciega que parece observar y vigilar, un cadáver quemado e irreconocible, varios asesinatos a cual más misterioso, un sacerdote que trata de salvar las vidas humanas frente a la destrucción y el mal. Estos y muchos otros son los protagonistas que, a través de las páginas de este libro, luchan y se combaten, símbolos y representaciones de los poderes del infierno y de la gracia.

This is a classic horror that I missed out on the first time around because I never knew it was a book. I remember seeing the movie when I was a kid or bits of it anyway but I didn't realize it was adapted from a book.

A model with a dark past moves into a great apartment with affordable rent. All is well until she meets her neighbors!

Some of the language is a bit dated but the story itself stands up to the test of time.

I would rate it 4 of 5 stars.

I received a complimentary copy for review.… (mais)
